Chapter 1796 You’re Hired
However, the person on the other end remained friendly as he said, “How about this? I’ll get her a job at the
reception first. If she’s willing to take this job, we’ll give her an official contract once the probation period of three
months is over. Please send me her number and basic details.”
“Okay, great! Thank you a bunch, Mr. McConaughey,” Connor said in relief, thinking that this was suitable
compensation for Ellen. His daughter was employed, and Ellen didn’t have to worry about job searching anymore.
When he got home, Olivia continued to ask him whether he had given any money to Ellen, which was within his
expectations. “She wouldn’t take it even if I wanted to give it to her,” he answered helplessly.
“It’s only right that she doesn’t take it as she should understand that every single penny from this family is
unrelated to her,” Olivia scoffed. Every word she uttered was more demeaning than the last.
He stared at his wife and felt as though he was looking at a stranger. What turned her into such a heartless person?
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWas it money? he wondered.
All these years, their relationship was quite stable, but he noticed that his wife had gradually turned into a selfish
and indifferent person. She hoarded money like a dragon and no longer had any compassion for others.
Annoyed by his stare, she barked, “What are you looking at?”
“Nothing.” Initially, he wanted to tell her that he had gotten Ellen into the Presgrave Group as well, but he decided
against it.
Soon, Selena returned home and was over the moon to find out that she got the position of financial analyst. For a
fresh graduate, it would be impossible for her to get such a good job. Furthermore, she merely wanted to go there
and work to get an extra point for herself so that she could have better chances of meeting men of higher social
class.
While she sat on the couch, the image of that young man she bumped into at the golf course that day appeared in
her mind. For the past few days, she would go there for a walk and take some pictures with her friends, but she
didn’t run into him again.
Despite her disappointment, she looked forward to seeing him again because some people in this world had the
charm to steal one’s heart at first sight.
At night, Ellen fell asleep amidst her tears; she wasn’t afraid, but she merely missed Jessica and couldn’t accept the
fact that she was gone.
Early the following day, she woke up in a daze when she heard her cell phone ringing. She blindly reached out to
grab her phone and picked up the call. “Hello? Who’s this?”
“Am I speaking to Miss Ellen Reiss? I’m calling from the Human Resource Department of Presgrave Group. Can you
come to work tomorrow?”
“Work? Presgrave Group? Me?” A clueless Ellen didn’t remember submitting her resume to this company before.
“Yes, you’re hired. Is there a problem?”
At the moment, she was in urgent need of a job. She couldn’t be bothered to wonder whether this job offer was a
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmmistake as she grasped it tight like a lifeline.
“No, no problem at all. I’ll be there tomorrow,” she stammered with excitement.
Even after she had ended the call, she still thought she was dreaming. She had a job now, and it was even a job at
Presgrave Group! Once again, she tried to recall the resumes she had sent and was sure that she hadn’t sent one
there. Whatever, she thought. I’ll just show up there tomorrow and see what happens!
Out of the blue, she was struck with overwhelming sorrow. If Jessica was watching her from the other side and
knew that she was going to start working in a huge corporation, would she be happy for her?
She would need a decent business suit for her job tomorrow. Alas, the clothes Connor bought for her were all
casual wear, which was unsuitable for an interview. In addition, an international company such as Presgrave Group
would definitely have a strict dress code.
Hence, she opened the other bags that were fully packed. These were the old clothing that Olivia had packed for
her, and she had brought all of them back.
One by one, she laid them out on the bed to take a good look at them. Finally, she found a business suit with a skirt
that looked professional, and she heaved a sigh of relief. Not only did this look good, but it also didn’t look worn out.
After she checked the label and noticed that it was from a renowned brand, she sighed again. Selena’s life is
something that I couldn’t even have in my dreams.
